Oil-mediated nano emulsion, a more advanced technology than other commercial extenders, will protect spermatozoa for extended periods against ROS and cryo injuries. The study is designed to elucidate the most suitable extender to preserve infertile subjects' sperm cells against ROS damage. This is a significant step forward for the andrology society, as it introduces the use of a nano emulsion extender (natural oil extract) for the first time, particularly for those who are undergoing urology-related defects.

Background: The process of meat industry produces in a large amount of wastewater that contains high levels of colour and chemical oxygen demand (COD). So they must be pretreated before their discharge into the ecological system.

Methods: In this paper, enzymatic catalysis (EC) was adopted to treat the meat wastewater.

In this present study, natural pigment and colors from pulp of jamun fruit were extracted under different extraction conditions such as extraction temperature (40-60 ˚C), time (20-100 min) and solid-liquid ratio (1:10-1: 15 g/ml) by aqueous extraction method. Three factors with three levels Box-Behnken response surface design was employed to optimize and investigate the effect of process variables on the responses (total anthocyanin and color). The results were analyzed by Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA) and second order polynomial models were developed to predict the responses.

The main objective of the present study is to extract the pectin from lime bagasse under various extraction conditions such as microwave power, extraction time, temperature, pH and mass of the sample. RSM coupled with D-optimal experimental design was used to optimize and investigate the extraction conditions on the pectin yield. Second order polynomial equation was developed and its adequacy was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA).

The main objective of the present study is to investigate and optimize the Submerged fermentation (SMF) process parameters such as addition of coconut water, NaCl dose, incubation time and temperature on the production of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) and biomass production using Lactobacillus confuses. Response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with four factors three level Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to model the SMF process. RSM analysis indicated good correspondence between experimental and predicted values.
